This remix of B. Dolan's "Leaving New York" is the 1st peek of an album-length remix project that Buddy Peace did of Dolan's "Fallen House, Sunken City" LP from 2010. In this song, Buddy lifts the original story of exodus and gives it a sweltering desert backdrop via some obscure psych-rock records. The nasty scratch outro serves as a clear warning: Strange Famous is out for blood this year.

This Spring feels especially notable for London's Buddy Peace though, as it looks like the shadowy button-pusher and his endless crates are gearing up for an impressive release schedule. Last summer gave us HOUSE OF BEES VOL. 2, a mixtape collaboration with B. DOLAN that was easily among the year's best, and SFR have just announced the April 30th release of "WORKING MAN", Peace's first ever official long player with RI emcee PROLYPHIC. www.tinyurl.com/WorkingManSFR

B. DOLAN hits the road this week, touring midwest US cities in support of "HOUSE OF BEES VOL. 2" alongside acts like Sage Francis, Toki Wright, Mike Mictlan of Doomtree and Wheelchair Sports Camp. All dates and ticket links available HERE: www.strangefamousrecords.com/sfr-tour-dates/

I'm digging this remix. I can't wait to hear the rest of the songs Buddy redid.

The only thing holding us back from releasing that full remix album is that we've been waiting on the new webstore to go into effect. Once that happens, we'll be using this album as part of a "thank you" to all the people who will have to register again with the store. It's been a massive overhaul and then we got swamped with Working Man stuff. Expect updates on the FHSC remix album soon though.
